Coach Talk

DARC NARC
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Our squad found one this past week and literally doubled up Soonerjack at the quarterback position (33.05 points to 15.45).
Soonerjack
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 46 targets in Week 12. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group reeled in only 27 receptions.
